We’re staring in the face of a fifth mass extinction. Plant teachers and the ancestral knowledge systems that surround them are helping humanity to wake up and remember what it truly means to be human and to choose the path of regeneration, of hope, and of being the ancestors our great-grandchildren need us to be.
Yet, plant teachers are getting caught in the nets of drug control. Indigenous and non-indigenous people who work with these plants − such as ayahuasca, iboga, mushrooms, coca, and others − are being prosecuted for their roles as facilitators, curanderos, healers, and teachers. They’ve been arrested in Spain, the United States, Chile, Russia, and 24 other countries.
It’s time to liberate plant teachers!
Since 2016 the ICEERS Ayahuasca Defense Fund team has been steady and committed, helping in over 110 cases. We need your help to continue this critical work. Many of us have benefited from these plants, let’s turn the tide from gratitude to generosity. Founded in 2009, ICEERS is an international non-profit organization dedicated to transforming society’s relationship with psychoactive plants.
We’ve launched a 30-day crowdfunding campaign and are asking for your support!
Funds will enable direct support on legal cases, updating technical reports and FAQs, conducting analysis, and engaging in pro-active strategies to change laws and policies.
How you can help:
- Donate! We’ve curated an incredible collection of perks – from original t-shirts to Shipibo textiles and original art. Many are limited in number, so claim yours quickly!
- Share the campaign video through your networks. We rely on sharing to get the word out far and wide.
